As the 2018 fantasy football draft season approaches, we will showcase a player to draft and a player to avoid from all 32 teams.

The New Orleans Saints lost their first two games last season but ended up rallying their way to the playoff, thanks to one of the best draft classes in recent memory.

Five rookie starters and two more contributors led New Orleans, which lost to the Vikings on a last-second freak play last year in the playoffs. The team returns almost everyone in 2018, and even added some more talent.

Running back Mark Ingram starts the season on a four-game suspension, but the Saints have enough talent to make up for the loss.

Here is a player to draft and one to avoid on the Saints in fantasy football this season:

Draft:

Alvin Kamara, RB — Obviously, right? Well, while Kamara might be an obvious draft pick this season after amassing more than 1,500 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns, he's going to be even better than advertised. That's right, Kamara can be selected with No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

Sean Payton has said Kamara won't take all of the carries left by Ingram's suspension, but Kamara is going to see plenty of field time all season. He's a perfect addition to the offense, blessed with Darren Sproles' toughness and Reggie Bush's elusiveness. It's Kamara or Rams RB Todd Gurley for the top pick this year in fantasy drafts.

Avoid:

Drew Brees, QB — After Brees threw only 23 touchdown passes last season — his lowest total in New Orleans — it appears Payton has a more cautious plan moving forward. With a great running game and an improving defense, the Saints no longer need to score 40 points to win.

Fantasy owners might still select Brees in the third or fourth round, but that would be a mistake. The Saints did give Brees more weapons this season, but he's still trending towards the seventh round at best. If his touchdown total remains in the mid-20s, then he may even be a fantasy backup in 2018.
